Ushering you into the lobby is a set of arresting black and white portraits of yesteryear sirens Kamini Kaushal, Nargis, Nutan, Suraiya and Leela Naidu. There’s even a portrait of Madhuri Dixit, commissioned in the old style of the others! (Photo/Manoj Kesharwani)

Patel says he likes to keep his home free of clutter. No trivia or ornate pieces in the guest bedroom. One look at this bachelor pad, and we knew it was time to snap the stereotype! (BCCL/Manoj Kesharwani)

Works by Imtiaz Dharker, Satish Gujral, Manu Parekh and Naina Kanodia lend colour and character to the stark white walls. Not to miss those oak bookshelves, which houses some rare classics! (BCCL/Manoj Kesharwani)

A globe-trotter, Patel collects sketches, watercolours, prints from all over the world, making sure that no wall is left untouched. Patel's living room is an ode to art. If the furniture has been kept simple and comfortable -- plush black leather sofas to sink into -- it's because Patel wants his art to get the attention it deserves. (BCCL/Manoj Kesharwani)
